Wisconsin Governor Signs New Bipartisan Legislative Maps into Law, Ending GOP Gerrymandering
Wisconsin Democratic Gov. Tony Evers signed new legislative district maps into law, marking a major political victory for Democrats in the swing state. The new maps, which will be in place for the November election, are expected to benefit Democrats and address concerns about gerrymandering. Republicans, who control the Legislature, described having no better option and expressed confidence in their policy ideas for the state. Litigation continues in more than a dozen states over U.S. House and state legislative districts enacted after the 2020 census, and the Wisconsin Supreme Court has been asked to take up a challenge to the state's congressional district lines.
